Even of there are a equal amount of AI Demigods on both teams it isn't necessary even. From my experience there is a big difference from different Demigods and how good they are as AI.

I hope Stardock will finally hear our AI wishes for Pantheon/Skirmish .

Well, of course they were the same. The only thing that was different was the Light/Dark division. If you remove that, you have Skirmish again. And Skirmish always was the better option in order to get good gameplay, since you have truly random match ups.

As pointed out numerous times, Pantheon can get ridiculous due to a higher chance of doubles and triples on one team and "premades" can play together more easily in Pantheon.

Pantheon was always more popular though, but I don't really see why. Maybe it really is just because of its higher "prestige".

NO AI from the start in multiplayer, sucks BIG TIME!!!!!! Any chance of sorting it? If I wanted AI, I would play single player or custom game! I don't know why you can't have one v one, better than AI match.
